Yes, that plant is the regular Phaius tankervillea - brownish one with purple lips. I also have an all-purple one called 'Rabin's Raven' that has not bloomed yet, and a little plant of Phaius Microburst 'Wild Thing' that I think has some yellow but it just put up its first bloom spike so I haven't seen it in person yet.

The big plant that bloomed last year that I thought was 'Wild Thing' had cream petals and a dark red lip. Let me dig up that picture from last year - it's the single big flower on the left, and the regular Phaius are on the right. That one is out in the garden getting ready to open 4 stems of flowers, can't wait!!
